Sophistication and elegance have always been distinguishing characteristics of Valentino collections.
Opulent dresses, chic suits, beautiful shoes and bags, exquisite jewelry – these all are about Valentino.

This Fall 2009 the fashion label has a new design team, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who wish to diversify the usual range of pieces. And now they have come with their debut line that is a bit not Valentino but looks very interesting.

The designing pair prepared numerous fabulous gowns bursting with saturated hues including acid yellow, emerald green, turquoise, wine red, and black. Designs for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 are new and attractive with interesting cuts, folds and pleats.

Fairytale goes on with D&G.
When I see these chic dresses I immediately recall my childhood and my mother reading fairytales to me. My imagination pictured queens and princesses wearing the garments pretty similar to the ones we see on models for D&G during Milan Fashion Week.

The only exception is that outfits worn by my imaginary characters were long and covered legs fully. Here the skirts are short but still have something royal in their look.

The collection by D&G has something strongly feminine and luxurious but at the same time seems to be a bit old-fashioned and out-of-time.

Gucci is a world-known brand that is highly respected and extremely popular with fashionistas. The Fall 2009 collection has proved once again that Gucci deserves its fame and recognition. Frida Giannini created a wonderful line that will surely be sold as soon as it hits the shelves.

Nearly every piece was wonderful. Bold, metallic dresses walked beside colorful graphic prints and slim-cut suits.

Every time a model came down the catwalk, she looked like the most powerful woman alive in these clothes.

The effect was created by new modern ideas, chic fabrics and interesting tailoring.

The Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 collection is mostly made in rock-and-roll style and will become popular with young girls who are in love with night-club life and entertainments.

Valentin Yudashkin, the most outstanding and exceptionally talented Russian designer, works to conquer new positions in fashion world.

He is well-known not only in Russia but far abroad, in the US, Europe, Australia and other countries and parts of the world. His new collection was unveiled at Milan Fashion Week and made everyone really impressed.

The collection tells what a modern woman should look like. According to Yudashkin the main tendency of the season is a strict style with no bright hues or abundant detailing. Geometric shapes and art colors were the inspiration for the line – old designs with a new twist.

The designer says Malevich’s art, Tatlin’s architectural constructivism of the first years of the twentieth century as well as Yudashkin’s works of the ’90s influenced greatly the main idea of the collection.

When I hear of Salvatore Ferragamo the first thing that comes to my mind is elegance.

And now it is really true as Cristina Ortiz who has worked for Salvatore Ferragamo brand for a few years already was able to develop her talent and classic taste to correspond to the name of the house.

Though her two previous collections were a complete failure and described as louche rather than ladylike.

Happily, her third effort is much more successful.

The garments in the line Fall 2009 presented during Milan Fashion week this year were mostly exceptionally polished and cultivated.

If you want classics look for Versace or Roberto Cavalli’s collections. For extravagancy go for Agatha Ruiz de la Prada’s work. In case you wish consistency Blumarine is the best choice for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.

But before I start speaking about the line itself I’d like to say that the runway show was pretty unusual this year as Anna Molinary decided to create a special atmosphere to present her range of clothes.

The models were walking with the desiner’s own portraits on the background! At first I thought it was a bit tasteless but as the show began I realized it was a great idea! It was entertaining and well-done at the same time.

The collection was very consistent as I’ve already said. Sometimes we see lines full of items which are not related to each other in any way.

Milan Fashion Week gave us plenty of new ideas about what to wear during the fall 2009. Today we’ll talk about Veronica Etro, a super-talented designer who has always surprised us with her flight of fantasy.

Both her men and women collections are special in some way, rich in folk motives, details and décor. Each season she chooses a country or diaspora to represent in her line.

This time the inspiration was the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire, whose treasures happen to have just been on display at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

It is a common fact that Italy has long been a bridge between Western and Eastern cultures. And now this fact was taken as a basis for creation of really great, fabulous collection!

The feel of the line comes from everything: the hues – which are pure golds, bronzes, and copper, all possible tints of greys and browns; unusual details - neckpieces and belts that resemble the feathers of the angel wings seen in Byzantine icons; fringed bibs; gilded leather; and the prints derived, probably, from the patterns of Turkish carpets.

I’ve always favored Milan Fashion Week more than others, as when it takes place we have an opportunity to see the creations of the most outstanding designers the planet has ever seen: Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo, Dolce&Gabbana and others.

They are unspeakable leaders in the fashion industry.

But there is one more reason why I like Milan Fashion Week. It’s because Agatha Ruiz de la Prada unveils her collection for Autumn/Winter 2009/2010..

I cannot put her in one line with the great names previously mentioned, not because she isn’t talented enough but because her creations are not usual, moreover, they are highly extraordinary!

The Spanish fashion designer is internationally recognized for her often outlandish and always colorful designs, which she applies to everything from home furnishings to children’s footwear.

Milan Fashion Week was great this year.

Plenty of fantastic collections were unveiled and most of them were so nice that deserve at least a few words to be said about them.

Well, today I would like to speak about Emporio Armani line which neatly encapsulated many of the trends that will be prominent in fall 2009.

The collection was very classy and sophisticated.
It included cut dresses and skirts half way up the thigh paired with various length knee socks, stylish shorts and blouses with nice subtle patterns, skirt suits and dressy jackets, womanly cardigans and really gorgeous coats.

Tough times of the present have influenced the color palette of Armani collection – it was all very sober - with much classic black and midnight blue, all shades of grey and beige, light green and brown.
